Troubador

Troubador is a 5-year-old Percheron draft cross stallion standing 16.3 hands and weighing about 1600 lbs, based in Great Falls, Montana. He's a big, roan, feathered-legged ranch horse with real miles: pasture doctoring, riding around hot mares at a safe distance, moving cattle in rough mountain terrain, corral sorting, and getting down on a cow when asked. The seller says he passes his good traits and color to his foals, citing a filly out of him she calls extraordinary. He's easygoing to catch and handle, kid-safe enough that the seller's children ride him in the corral, good for the farrier (took a size 4 shoe, maybe moving to a 5, though he's typically kept barefoot and trimmed by the seller's husband). The one flagged issue is that he can no longer be turned out with geldings. Listed at $30,000, with the seller open to flexibility for the right home planning to use him both under saddle and at stud.

Regularly trimmed, took a size 4 shoe last year and may be moving up to a size 5, though owner says he doesn't really need shoes. Good for the farrier. Only known issue is he cannot be turned out with geldings.
